fever, and empirical fluconazole treatment did not improve

outcome when compared with placebo [30].

Recommendations. Early treatment of presumed fungaemia is

presumably associated with higher survival rates, but the

optimal time point for initiating empiric antifungal treatment

remains undetermined. Due to lack of data, no recommenda-

tion can be given for choosing a specific drug for fever-dri-

ven therapy. In general, such choice should be based on local

epidemiology and drug–drug interactions in the individual

patient and should be made among the same drugs as rec-

ommended for candidaemia. Further recommendations are

given in Table 4.

Diagnosis-driven approach (pre-emptive)

We defined pre-emptive therapy as therapy triggered by

microbiological evidence of candidiasis without proof of inva-

sive fungal infection.

Evidence. Several studies have addressed diagnosis-driven ther-

apy on grounds of detecting (1,3)-b-D-glucan in serum or

fever, and empirical fluconazole treatment did not improve

outcome when compared with placebo [30].

Recommendations. Early treatment of presumed fungaemia is

presumably associated with higher survival rates, but the

optimal time point for initiating empiric antifungal treatment

remains undetermined. Due to lack of data, no recommenda-

tion can be given for choosing a specific drug for fever-dri-

ven therapy. In general, such choice should be based on local

epidemiology and drug–drug interactions in the individual

patient and should be made among the same drugs as rec-

ommended for candidaemia. Further recommendations are

given in Table 4.

Diagnosis-driven approach (pre-emptive)

We defined pre-emptive therapy as therapy triggered by

microbiological evidence of candidiasis without proof of inva-

sive fungal infection.

Evidence. Several studies have addressed diagnosis-driven ther-

apy on grounds of detecting (1,3)-b-D-glucan in serum or

plasma. In a study on 46 ICU patients without infection or with

confirmed bacterial or fungal infection, glucan test results (G-

test; Associates of Cape Cod, East Falmouth, MA, USA) corre-

lated with infection, but not with fungal infection. The authors

the proportion of patients receiving which type of lipid-based

amphotericin B formulation.

The combination of amphotericin B deoxycholate and

fluconazole has been as effective as fluconazole monotherapy

in a randomized trial, but patients had an increased risk of

toxicity and no survival benefit [74]. A small study (N = 72)

comparing fluconazole with amphotericin B deoxycholate

and 5-flucytosine showed no difference in overall response

to treatment [75].

Recommendations. Targeted treatment of candidaemia with

echinocandins is strongly recommended. The recommenda-

tion for liposomal amphotericin B or voriconazole is less

stringent, and fluconazole is recommended with marginal

strength only, except for C. parapsilosis. For detailed recom-

mendations, refer to Table 5.

Duration of targeted treatment, step-down to oral treat-

ment and diagnostics in candidaemia

Evidence. The duration of treatment depends on the extent

of organ involvement. In a population without documented

organ involvement, treatment aims to clear the infection

and at the same time to avoid deep-organ involvement. This

can be achieved by treating for 14 days after the end of

candidaemia [82]. To determine the end of candidaemia, at

least one blood culture per day should be taken until cul-

ture results come back negative. Treatment can probably

be simplified by stepping down to oral fluconazole after

10 days of intravenous treatment, if the patient is stable,

tolerates the oral route and if the species is susceptible

[55,63,64].

The diagnostic procedures to detect organ involvement

comprise transoesophageal echocardiography, fundoscopy

and search for a thrombus. A recent observational study

found infectious endocarditis in 8.3% of patients with candi-

daemia; the majority of these patients had no well-estab-

lished risk factors, that is, vascular prosthesis or persistent

candidaemia [83].

Some prospective studies addressed ocular candidiasis as

complication of candidaemia. The diagnostic approach was

usually based on weekly eye examinations. Immunosuppres-

sion and repeatedly positive blood cultures are risk factors
